Tandem or xtracycle would work if she won't, but that's not another bike as you suggest, it's another bike and a half. Make room in your home for another single bike.
Apart that she doesn't want to hear me speak about bicycles, just as I don't want to hear about shopping, she is into her own sports, so I know for a fact another bike will be a waste and she won't use it. The only reason she would ever ride a bike if we were to go for a nice stroll and a picnic. Girls will always be girls.

Btw, squirtdad, that's a great wall unit suggestion.

This is interesting, but its a a whole new bike and getting it to just use a few times a year would be an overkill.


I found something like this:

or

But I am not sure how to tell if its for an adult or a child on pictures, or which ones are good. There is also a question of it fitting on my bike. Its a Y frame... I think it's easier just to make a picture of it, which I will later today so you can see for yourself.

EDIT: I ran out to take a few pictures of my bike:
